Pre LFW

So the 'big week' is fast approaching and I have already started planning my outfits...

This pic was found today by my lovely Lena, which was on Topshop's Tumblr from last season, I'm top to toe in Ann Demeulemeester apart from my signature Prada sunnies.

My favourite comment is- I’m just now thinking “but what if she spills ribena down herself?’

Haha, love that.

Boys On Film

I started my collection from visiting the forest at night where I was charmed by the shadows, silhouettes and textures that appear out of the dark. I also looked at the eerie black and white photography of Wynn Bullock, his images referencing a lot of nature but with a sinister mood.

I was also inspired by the creatures of the forest such as fireflies and mythical beasts, centaurs, dryads, nymphs and more recent storybook characters such as Little Red Riding Hood.

The garments are layers of naturally coloured, entangled fabric as well as sheer fabrics and wools, that have been developed to offer comfort alongside a high visual impact, fulfilling the desire for fantasy coupled with luxury, of looking well dressed and still making a statement that references the dark and twisted side of attire.

The woman who wears them is confident but still captivated and enchanted by her dreams and the things she sees out of the corner of her eye.

As an aspiring stylist I wanted to experiment with my womenswear collection, so I did a menswear shoot using my garments, I felt this was successful showing the versatility of the clothes and pushing the dimensions of style.

My Collection- London Show, Graduate Fashion Week

Getting to go to Graduate Fashion Week was an immense thrill, I was so excited to be picked and seeing as I always wanted to do styling instead of designing, this was really special for me.

I had spent the 3 years previous doing styling projects then in the final year of my degree I decided that I was never going to get the chance to do this again so I needed to make a collection!

It was a tough ride but well worth it and I would like to take the time to thank my tutors and my friends for pulling me through, couldn't have done it without you.

My Collection- Bristol Show

I have been really rubbish with blogging since the end of uni, it was so intense that I felt like I needed a little time off! So I've had my break and now I'm back to share my collection and other wonderous things that cross my path...

So my collection was inspired by a dark, mysterious enchanted forest, where the trees have eyes and mythical creatures reside.

I mainly used the technique of laser cutting to achieve the look of the entire collection, jersey was slashed and layered up and leather was cut into multiple panels with creepy branch detailing.
